"Say what you want about the film, but the concept of 'Hostel' is downright terrifying."

Agreed!

There's a story that Eli Roth based the film Hostel on a real website that offered people the opportunity to commit murder for a fee.

Is this true? Are the Hostel films a metaphor or are we being shown something that actually happens?

⚠️ Spoilers lie ahead for Hostel & Hostel: Part II. Both films have pretty grotesque subject matter, so please be advised.
